ATTENTION ALL FISH PARENTS AND ANGLERS!

Are you *FIN-ished* with your pet goldfish? Think twice before setting them free! We need to talk about a GROWING problem — literally. Did you know those cute little goldfish can turn into GIANTS in the wild?! And they’re creating a tidal wave of troubles in our beautiful lakes and rivers.

Releasing pet goldfish into the wild is NOT the "kind" option you might think it is. They grow, they multiply, and they outcompete native species, tipping the scales of our delicate ecosystem balance!
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. KEEP your finned friends well-contained.
2. DON’T release them into the wild – it’s bad for them AND the environment.
3. EDUCATE others about the not-so-golden impact of this issue.
4. ADOPT responsibly and only if you’re ready for the long-term commitment.
5. BAIT and switch. We recognize that part of the problem is also anglers who use goldfish for bait. Please properly dispose of unused bait, by NOT dumping them into waterways.

Remember, it's up to all of us to protect our local ecosystems. Let's work together to keep our waters safe and our wildlife thriving! Together, we can keep our waterways JUST swimming!
